The Library
Entering the library is a thrill,
Can’t sit still!
Wiggling in my spot on the soft carpet,
Waiting for the story to start,
Can’t help but to get excited!
Floor to ceiling of books.
From Alpacas to Zebras
The roar of the ocean,
The vroom of cars and trucks,
All contained within the shelves.
Storytime begins and I listen patiently.
Knowing I’m moments away,
from picking my story.
To take home with me all week!
Can’t sit still!
Wiggling in my spot on the soft carpet,
Waiting for the story to start,
Can’t help but to get excited!
Floor to ceiling of books.
From Alpacas to Zebras
The roar of the ocean,
The vroom of cars and trucks,
All contained within the shelves.
Storytime begins and I listen patiently.
Knowing I’m moments away,
from picking my story.
To take home with me all week!
